A 77-year-old man diagnosed with aplastic anemia suffered from non-valvular endocarditis. After he passed away, fungal hyphae were observed in several lesions on a postmortem examination. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and a DNA sequence analysis revealed S. kiliense as the causative organism. This is the first case report of non-valvular fungal endocarditis caused by S. kiliense identified by PCR and a DNA sequence analysis in an immunocompromised patient. Although rare, invasive fungal infection caused by S. kiliense should be considered in immunocompromised hosts. 抄録:英語フィールド
